Episode 8 — Domain I Overview: Scope, Structure, and Enforcement Themes

Domain I introduces the U.S. privacy environment at its broadest level. In this episode, we review how the branches of government shape privacy law, the sources of law that contribute to the framework, and the roles of regulatory authorities such as the FTC, FCC, and HHS. We also explore how accountability models, compliance obligations, and data subject rights are embedded into U.S. privacy management. These foundations serve as anchors for the rest of your study.

Enforcement is another core theme of Domain I, and we discuss how federal, state, and self-regulatory systems interact. From civil liability to criminal penalties, from DOJ prosecutions to self-regulatory seals, this episode lays out the enforcement landscape you’ll need to master. With this overview in place, you’ll be prepared to dive into the more detailed federal, state, and sector-specific domains that follow. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
